August 6th 1925

Lucille Ball, my favourite comic actress was 14 years old.Andy Warhol was 3 years from being born.The original 'Phantom Of The Opera' starring Lon Chaney, was a hit at the 'movies'.As was 'The Goldrush' starring the wonderful Charlie Chaplin.And my Ma was born.Ma celebrated her 85th birthday in her usual style this weekend, (lots of whiskey!)

what an absolutely fabulous homage to your mom who must be an absolutely fabulous woman, map!!!

many many happy returns to her!

and i must say she is in such good company with all us other absolutely fabulous LEO women! my own birthday comes this wednesday! i'm thinking of throwing a last-minute-planned birthdaybash and i hope you and the gang will all come celebrate with me! the guitars will be strummin' and mandolins jingling - we'll sit round the campfire under the moon, sip deep hearty red wines, nibble on some juicy fruits and heady cheeses, perhaps you'll honor us with a fabulous song and then we'll all dance round and round the fire till mornin' meets the sky - please say you'll come!

again, such a beautiful tribute to your mom - she is a very lucky woman to have a son such as you!

Tempo; Thank you, I will pass on your greetings, though the last time I tried to explain 'blogger friends' I think she thought I meant entirely different! And yes, she could drink most of us under the table, I'm still learning! :¬)

UB; She likes a 'wee drop' at night!I grew up listening to Ma singing these songs, and many many others! :¬)

Happy Birthday to your lovely Ma, Map! And wishing her a few more. Have a nip of whiskey with her and let her know there's lots of happy birthday thoughts floating her way through the interwebs. xoxoxo
